Listen to ILLENIUM’s Spellbinding Remix of Nirvana’s “Something In The Way”
ILLENIUM has taken a Nirvana classic for a spin, breathing new life into the band’s 1991 track “Something In The Way.” Written by legendary guitarist and lead vocalist Kurt Cobain, “Something In The Way” appeared on Nirvana’s sophomore album, Nevermind. Eschewing his signature euphoric sound design, ILLENIUM reworked the brooding track into a languid trap tune with a distorted drop.

Martin Garrix Reunites With Julian Jordan for Spine-Tingling Single, “Funk”: Listen
Another day, another new single from Martin Garrix‘s upcoming album. Sentio is due out on April 29th, but its creator seems intent on letting fans hear as much of its music as possible before it drops in full. Today’s release of “Funk,” a track produced with longtime friend and collaborator Julian Jordan, marks the seventh Sentio single Garrix has unveiled thus far—an unprecedented number for an album rollout. “Funk” is decidedly darker than the other singles from Sentio. Here, the Dutch compatriots produce pulsing leads before morphing the arrangement into a tense build, which culminates in a minimal, spine-tingling electro drop. The riveting single was one of many unreleased records dropped by Garrix in his massive Ultra 2022 set, joining fellow S...

The Midnight Drop Glam Metal Single “Change Your Heart or Die,” Announce New Tour
Grab your hairspray and sweatbands because The Midnight have dove headfirst into glam metal for their latest single. Released this weekend on Counter Records was the duo’s latest single, “Change Your Heart or Die.” The track has been played at The Midnight’s recent shows and quickly became their most requested ID. Reminiscent of a stadium-igniting rock song, “Change Your Heart or Die” steps away from their electronic-focused sound while also staying true to the niche genre wherein they thrive. Electrifying guitar riffs and anthemic vocals will conjure visuals of crazy hair, tight jeans and a sweaty crowd losing their mind. The bold shift to a glam metal direction was not always the duo’s intent. According to a press release, “Change Your...

Kumarion Takes His Sound to the Next Level On Rumbling Drum & Bass Single, “Back Talk”
When talking about the future of bass music, the conversation can’t be had without mentioning Seattle’s Kumarion. His latest single “Back Talk,” out via Bassrush, is a clear demonstration of why. Much like his breakout hit “Want It,” “Back Talk” sets the tone for Kumarion’s project for the remainder of the year.

The feverish craze for “Do It To It” continues, and Subtronics is weighing in with a fierce new interpretation. The Cyclops Recordings proprietor has taken ACRAZE‘s breakout hit down a discernibly dark path, transforming the groove-inducing house track into a headbanger’s delight. The bass music virtuoso twists the original’s iconic vocals into a hypnotic incantation before unleashing a grungy onslaught of riddim basslines regulated by nothing more than the punching kick and snap of the snare as their timekeeper. The high-energy beatdown of bass continues in the second drop, which sees Subtronics dramatizing the chord progression with a renewed round of distortion-heavy synths. The sleek beats and clean energy behind ACRAZE’s original find a divergi...

Watch the Trippy Music Video for Hardwell’s Menacing Single, “F*CKING SOCIETY”
After torpedoing a four-year hiatus, it’s clear that Hardwell wants to make a statement with each new release. His latest is “F*CKING SOCIETY,” a menacing future rave anthem that arrived today by way of his Revealed Recordings imprint. Following the release of his two comeback tracks, “BROKEN MIRROR” and “INTO THE UNKNOWN,” the exhilarating single is the most compelling example of Hardwell’s new, cerebral direction so far. The lyrics of “F*CKING SOCIETY” are existentialist in nature, exploring our tendency as humans to willingly ignore the notion that we are merely cogs in the machine. A guttural voice conveys Hardwell’s message loud and clear: “They know our bullshit in the fucking society / Besides saying n...
